Caught the Bug
As the title says I am trying to get some 35x12.50r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers installed ASAP. For now I am looking at just doing a 2.5 in Teraflex budget boost for several different reasons. I have a question though as to how the stock rubicon springs with the budget boost will hold up to a Warn 12k HD Powerplant winch. I have the EVO 1/4 pounder bumper installed already and dont have a winch yet, so I would also like to purchase a winch and want the powerplant. I bought the bumper and put it on my 2008 JK because it had a hideous Ranch Hand bumper on it from the previous owner. When I traded in the 08 for the 14 I swapped bumpers at the dealership and kept my EVO bumper. Now I am wanting a winch to finish out the look as well as be usefull for its intended purpose. The bumper was bought in early 2013 so it only has one set of mounting holes. Ive thought about going with a cheaper winch for now and then when I can get the power plant just putting the cheaper winch on a trailer for pulling vehicles onto the trailer. I don't want to go to cheap though so I end up not far off of the price of the power plant and so I figure I might as well get the winch I want now and just be done with it. I will most likely also be running the EVO rear d-ring mounts (as I already have them) and the EVO rear fascia but might hold out for an EVO rear bumper. Not decided for sure on that yet.
I am open to maybe an EVO leveling kit and either pucks on top of those springs to clear the 35s or a daystar one inch body lift as well as the EVO leveling kit to get me the 2.5 inches. I plan on doing the one inch body lift at some point anyways. Was just looking at a 2.5 inch suspension lift. Don't want more than that right now as I don't want to get into control arms or drive shafts yet. Maybe sometime next year or when the 35s wear out I will look into an EVO Enforcer lift and 37s. I just don't want to get the budget boost only to have the front end sagging down enough that I need to get a lift kit with springs. Ive tried searching but cant come up with what I am looking for really.
What is everybody's experiences?
